A Quick Update on Richard Liu

He became CEO and chairman of his new company and is to the present day.

It has, since then, grown into a billion dollar company internationally. It’s creator, Richard Liu, achieved a degree in Sociology at a college in Bejing, and a EMBA from China’s Europe International Business School. He began his career as a businessman shortly thereafter and continues to guide JD.com into the future and into the global success it enjoys today,
